Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can be difficult to detect because it does not always present noticeable symptoms. It is often a chronic condition that may initially cause mild signs, such as slight bleeding when brushing or flossing, without significant pain. Like other diseases, by the time pain occurs, the condition may have progressed to a severe stage.
Other possible signs of periodontal disease include loose or shifting teeth, changes in your bite, a persistent foul taste, or bad breath. Recognizing these early indicators is essential for timely treatment and preventing further complications.
